alyraver, I know, you didn't ask, but I think it's worth mentioning that the 800D and H100 are not the best friends... Keep your eyes on temps! if you have issues or questions about how to set up the airflow, just ask! - we're here for you... :cool:

I assume that you asked this about the 800D not being good friend with H100... 🙂
So, the 800D is a great case - for water-cooling and modding... It's pretty bad for air-cooling, since doesn't have enough vent openings/fan holes. Your setup, having the H100 in the top and the bottom fans as intakes, with the rear fan as exhaust - it's the best possible one. However, it's far from optimal... 😞
Just calculate how much air you are forcing in and how much is exhausted actively... you've got a positively pressurized system - which by itself isn't good or bad... but the problem is that you can have dead spots, hot air accumulations because of the pour air movement...
Imagine, the hot air is raising (naturally) from the graphic card, meets the hot air from the mobo, then the air exhausted by the H100 is added to it... then all of that suppose to be exhausted outside the case by that single rear fan...
I have both the 800D and H100, and I did play a lot with different airflow configuration... As I said, yours was the best setup - but compared to different cases where is better airflow, the min temps were higher as with >10C! I never had a H80, but I could imagine that it would be better for this case... setup as intake on the rear (this way will get fresh air), and set up the top fans as exhausts... but it won't work with the H100... 😞
